Clore operates as a decentralized GPU marketplace, similar to Aethir and Akash. It connects individual hardware ‘hosts’ (hobbyists or small-scale crypto miners) with users seeking on-demand compute. Since the platform is built around its crypto token, users are encouraged to use crypto for payments and staking GPUs.

During testing we had basic issues signing up for an account. We have general concerns about the validity of a platform like this with a lack of basic security, reliability, orchestration, storage, and networking features that users expect from their GPU clusters.
